SUMMARY:Plato's advice to Alexander:
DTSTART:20180503T220000Z

DESCRIPTION:"Plato's advice to Alexander: Amir  Khusraw's 'Mirror of A
 lexander' (1299)" introduces the poet Amir Khusraw and sets his poem i
 n the context of the mirror-for-princes literature of the Arab and Per
 sian Middle Ages. It considers the links of this tradition with the ac
 tual work of Plato\, and also of Aristotle\, and finds little direct c
 onnection. In the poem\, Alexander visits the hermit Plato in his cave
  to obtain advice on rulership. Alexander is thus presented as a kind 
 of philosopher-king\, as much a Sufi and a sage as he is a monarch.
